Blog posts that get into the whole “how to think like a front-end developer” vibe are my favorite. Michelle Barker nails that in this post, and does it without sharing a line of code!

We simply can no longer design and develop only for “optimal” content or browsing conditions. Instead, we must embrace the inherent flexibility and unpredictability of the web, and build resilient components. Static mockups cannot cater to every scenario, so many design decisions fall to developers at build time. Like it or not, if you’re a UI developer, you are a designer — even if you don’t consider yourself one!

There are a lot of unknowns in front-end development. Much longer than my little list. Content of unknown size and length is certainly one of them. Then square the possibilities with every component variation while ensuring good accessibility and you’ve got, well, a heck of a job to do.
